KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim expressed his heartfelt prayers to the humanitarian Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) mission.
He also uploaded a 51-second video of him delivering his national address at the Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit in Doha on Sept 15 in his Facebook post.
“May this effort serve as a beacon of hope for the people of Gaza who are tested and serve as a witness to the solidarity of humanity,” he wrote, adding that the flotilla carried not weapons of war but the promise of aid for the besieged people in Gaza.
“It is a mission of mercy, and we must do all in our power to see that it reaches its shore. To let it be turned back with violence is to betray the charge that our conscience has placed upon us: to defend the weak, to shelter the oppressed, to give food to the hungry,” he said.
Anwar is patron of Sumud Nusantara, which involves Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, the Philippines and Thailand.
All Malaysian volunteers under the Sumud Nusantara group are led by Cinta Gaza Malaysia chief executive officer Muhammad Nadir Al-Nuri Kamaruzaman and the approximately 70 vessels of the GSF, with over 1,000 volunteers, are carrying food, medicine and peace messages to Gaza, and are scheduled to arrive in the middle of this month.
The GSF, bringing together international coalitions from Europe, Asia, South Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, aims to break the siege of Gaza, with all delegations stressing the principle of non-aggression and the role of ships as a symbol of global solidarity for the Gaza crisis.
